They are doing exactly what they should be doing - spending lots of time out from under MHP and growing, learning, and exploring. No need to put them under - just like with a Mama Hen they'll dash under if they need to now that they understand where the heat is!Hey everybody! I have chicks that are 1&2 weeks old. Some of them, mostly the older ones, are going to sleep on top of MHP. I've been going out and putting them underneath and they stay but I'm wondering if it's really necessary. They are out in the coop and it's really hot during the day (up to 100-105) even with fan and dropping to 65-70 at night. This is my first time with chicks and they seem to be thriving so I'm probably worrying for nothing.![]()
